--- Comment #14 from Wolfgang Faust <wolfgangmcq+acct-bugs.kde.org at gmail.com> ---
Yes, I can confirm that KDE Neon seems to use the same version of Poppler,
0.86.1, and I can reproduce the issue with Gustavo's attachment. I've taken the
liberty of filing https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=446309 to see about
getting this updated. (Gustavo, once that bug gets taken care of you'll
probably be able to manually install the Neon-packaged libpoppler on your
system, since Neon is also built on 20.04 LTS.)

I'm glad to hear we have a probable cause for this particular case (thanks
Gustavo for producing that test PDF!), but I still think the error message
needs to be updated to make it clear what's going on when this sort of thing
happens. Even if this particular problem is no longer an issue, it's inevitable
that some PDFs will be unreadable and the current error message is not at all
clear about the problem.
